The construction of the Club Terrace Community Facility was completed in March 2024. 

Construction of this crucial community facility in Club Terrace is complete. 

This development falls under the comprehensive East Gippsland Emergency Management Framework, identifying 37 community facilities across the municipality for necessary upgrades.The facility upgrades, funded in part by the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program, aim to empower communities to lead their recovery process. This includes increased asset resilience, improved communication systems, and building community capability and capacity for recovery.

The Club Terrace community actively participated in the design and functionality discussions, with notable figures like the Australian Governor General David Hurley and Major General Andrew Hocking of the National Bushfire Recovery Agency engaging with the community over the project's viability.

Ensuring that this facility is not only fit for purpose but also a hub that fosters community connectedness and resilience, the new building encompasses ember-proofing, adapting electrical switchboard systems for backup power supply, and upgrading telecommunication systems, including AV infrastructure, Wi-Fi, and resilient online connectivity. These enhancements aim to fortify the facility's resilience during bushfire events and ensure continuous operation during power outages, both in emergencies and non-emergencies. 

These improvements are pivotal in providing a secure environment for our community, especially during emergencies. The completed project will serve as a multifunctional hub for the Club Terrace community, promoting social cohesion, physical activity, and community engagement. The facility will play a critical role in emergency planning, response, and recovery.

In conjunction with funding partners and key stakeholders, an opening celebration has been organised. The invitation to attend is open to everyone.


Funding for this project was provided by the Australian Government through the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program and additional funding from East Gippsland Shire Council.

    Council is pleased to advise that the Club Terrace Community Facility project has now been awarded to Design Co Builders Pty Ltd.

    During the 2019-20 bushfires 17 dwellings were destroyed in Club Terrace and the community facility was irreparably damaged. A building inspection determined that the community facility ‘did not meet the deemed to satisfy conditions’ of the Building Code of Australia, (no longer fit for purpose) and as such, was demolished with the support of Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) contractors.

    Shortly after the fires of 2019-20 the Australian Governor General, General David Hurley, along with the National Bushfire Recovery Agency's Major General Andrew Hocking, attended and engaged with the community and placed their full support behind the viability of this project.

    Community facilities including public halls and recreation reserve buildings are essential facilities that enable communities to be socially connected, physically active and positively engaged with a broad range of community activities and events.

    In times of emergency, these facilities often play a critical role to support communities to plan for, respond to, and recover from emergency events. Currently the existing 'not fit for purpose' facility is restricting the facilities ability to fulfill the critical role that community expects.

    Funding is provided by;

    Australian Government - Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Program $751,250.00
